Should have taken him with pick 13.....................................................

Snoop's phantom is up. Has us taking the same players (cavarra, thorp, lambert)
Has Tsitas sliding to pick 68.I thought an outside player with good skills, fierce tackling and a superlative beep test would rank higher. Doesn't rate Templeton either.
Having Battersby, D Cameron, Spencer, Hourigan and Conlon gone before our pick doesn't inspire confidence.
Why dont we participated in the PSD then? We can go 39/5 and have only one nominated rookie, this way we can get one of these kids. Surely the difference to the salary cap isnt that much different if we add another onto the senior list, these kids are only on around $50,000 and rookies a bit less. I know half of rookies salaries are not included in the cap but surely we are not that close to it that we cant find room.
Capybara for Carlton and XXX KINGS ?Snoop's phantom is up. Has us taking the same players (cavarra, thorp, lambert).

)Did Rogers just admit that they recruited a player that the club didn't rate in the top 15 in the draft???

Wry smile before answering the Giles question.I guess Rogers rated Giles more than four of the above boys.

Wouldn't be surprised if Giles was a special pick that Rogers made himself. Seemed very pleased with that selection.
Hopefully, we have been rogered just right.

That's not what he said at all when referring to Giles.
What he was alluding to was that he rated three talls and was happy to get one of them by #39.
Others may have been McCarthy, Apeness, Gardiner, Lobb, Nankervis or McStay but they were gone in the top 20

EDIT: If we didn't know beforehand we do now. We don't recruit purely on best available.........I don't think any club ever really did unless it was just way too good to refuse.

Although Rogers said we rated 3 talls for pick 39 - I'm thinking Giles was rated first. We knew McCarthy would be gone, so I doubt he would have been 1 of the 3 and given the info posted on the draft & trading board, I'm thinking we had our hearts set on Giles. And why wouldn't we?
